Is DK Metcalf injured? Why Steelers' WR has started slow in Ireland vs. Vikings image

The Pittsburgh Steelers didn't get off to an ideal start to their Ireland experience.

They received the opening kickoff in Dublin but couldn't get a first down.

It also meant a slow start for star wide receiver DK Metcalf.

The physically imposing WR didn't get an early look from quarterback Aaron Rodgers, and the Minnesota Vikings quickly went and got a field goal on the board at the other end.

On drive number two, though, Rodgers looked for Metcalf early and often, and all was well.
